I haven't been participating in the lose a pound a week challenge for a week or so, I do try, but I guess I have to fess up and quit eating the caramel candy that I have stashed from Halloween, and shoot if you dont add it to your food intake, it really doesn't count, does it? I know, but that is exactly why the old scales have come to a stand still, and yikes, if I am having trouble keeping my mouth shut now, what about Thanksgiving and the weeks coming up to Christmas, me thinks I may be in big trouble, and I am not sure if it is worth all the effort. so perhaps, you could say that I have fallen off the band wagon
